We were out the other evening and heard the term universal design being discussed at a table. What exactly is universal design? Thank you for enlightening and educating us. We assume it has something to do with “the golden years” which is where we are — 85 and 87. — Ed and Rosie, Prescott.
Universal design is related to aging-in-place remodeling and was developed to address the growing number of consumers who will soon require these modifications for the golden years.
Everyone can use universal design! It really does not matter if you are young or old. You could be short or tall, healthy or ill. You might have a disability. Or you may be a prize-winning athlete. Because of universal design, people who are very different can all enjoy the same home. And that home will be there for all its inhabitants even when their needs change.
No-step entry. No one needs to use stairs to get into a universal home or into the home’s main rooms.
One-story living. Places to eat, use of the bathroom and sleeping areas are all located on one level, which is barrier-free.
Wider doorways. Doorways that are 32 to 36 inches wide let wheelchairs pass through. They also make it much easier to move larger household items in and out of the house.
Wider hallways. Hallways should be 36 to 42 inches wide. That way, everyone and everything is able to move more easily from room to room.
Extra floor space. Everyone feel less cramped. And people in wheelchairs have more space to turn.
Floors and bathtubs with non-slip surfaces help everyone stay on their feet. They’re not just for people who are frail. The same goes for handrails on steps and grab bars in bathrooms.
Thresholds that are flush with the floor make it easy for a wheelchair to get through a doorway.
Good high quality lighting helps people with poor vision.
Lever door handles and rocker light switches are great for people with poor hand strength. I have lever door handles in my home and what a convenience when my arms are full of packages. Never again will I have knobs on any of my doors!
Simply put, Universal Design is an approach to design that increases the potential for developing a better quality of life for a wide range of individuals. It is a design process that enables and empowers a diverse population by improving human performance, health and wellness, and social participation. It creates products, systems, and environments to be as usable as possible by as many people as possible regardless of age, ability or situation.
Locally in the industry we are seeing more Universal Design features in new homes. Universal Design can increase usability of the home without considerably increasing its cost by reducing the need for design modifications later when abilities or circumstances change.
Here is a little fun part of our column this week. You all know that your home is probably the largest investment you will ever make. Taking good care of it with regular maintenance is necessary to maintain its value and ensure it will provide a comfortable, safe shelter for you and your family for a long time.
Here is a home maintenance quiz that will test your maintenance knowledge. While this quiz does not address every home maintenance project, it does provide helpful tips and reminders for chores you may have overlooked.
1) How often do forced-air furnace filters need to be changed?
At least every three months during the heating season.
2) What part of the faucet usually needs to be replaced when you have a water leak?
3) Should you run hot or cold water through your garbage disposal?
4) How often should the moving parts of garage doors be oiled?
At least every six months.
5) What faucet part needs to be cleaned every three to four months?
Aerator — the screen inside the end of the faucet.
6) What can you use for traction on icy sidewalks, steps and driveways?
Cat litter or sand — never use salt because it damages the pavement.
7) Where should your firewood be stored?
Outside, away from your house and not directly on the ground.
8) Do hardwood floors need to be waxed?
Hardwood floors that do not have a polyurethane finish probably will need to be waxed periodically. Use liquid or paste “spirit” wax.
9) What is the best polish for vinyl floors?
10) How often should your roof be inspected?
A qualified roofer should inspect your roof every two - three years.
11) To ensure your safety, what household equipment uses batteries that must be checked regularly to make sure they are operable?
Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
12) What is the white powdery substance that develops on masonry walls?
Efflorescence sometimes appears on masonry walls. It is crystallized soluble salts that can be removed by scrubbing with water and a stiff brush.
13) At what temperature should your water heater be set?
14) How often do skylights need to be inspected?
Skylights should be inspected each time your roof is inspected so leaks don’t develop from cracks and interruptions around its seals, caulking and flashings.
15) What can you use to help a window slide easily?
Rub the channel with a piece of paraffin.

Before the 2018 Video Music Awards kick off on MTV at 9/8c tonight, I'm taking a deep-dive into the music videos nominated for Best Pop. Voting might be closed, but you can never be too prepared for a legendary VMA category.
The lead single from newly-released Sweetener is largely a message to Manchester following the 2017 bombing at her concert there, but you might not know that on first listen. It's the lyrics, symbolism and visuals of the music video that truly makes "no tears left to cry" a memorial.
Camila isn't the only celeb bringing star power to the "Havana" video -- she's joined by a rolodex of social media personalities and Hollywood celebs that bring major acting chops to the video's fully-developed plot.
Demi's major hit from Tell Me You Love Me was almost never the lead single, nearly being replaced by the album's title track and "The Middle," which was later recorded by Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey, until an endorsement from Jay Z changed the song's path.
Not only is "Perfect" a tearjerker of a single, but the story behind one of Ed's greatest love songs is an emotional tale. It marks the first time he collaborated with his brother, Matt, all for a super-sentimental reason.
A year after being honored with the Vanguard Award at the 2017 VMAs, P!nk is up for Best Pop for her politically-infused video for "What About Us." You might not have picked up on P!nk's message right away, but it fits neatly within her history of political activism.
As one of the lead tracks on Shawn Mendes' self-titled third album, "In My Blood" was crafted by one of Shawn's long-time collaborators, Teddy Geiger. They've got a proven track record together, responsible for plenty of Shawn's top hits.
Now that you're all caught up on the Best Pop nominees, find out who takes home the Moon Person during the 2018 VMAs, tonight at 9/8c on MTV.
Sixteen year-old Soldier Boy lies bleeding from a knife wound, on the run from a gang leader he has disrespected. Instead of an ambulance team, the first person on the scene is a fellow fugitive, in tribal robes, who introduces himself as Desert Man and explains that he is also on the run, from a gang of slave-masters who lived 300 years ago. "Oh, I get it," Soldier Boy says scornfully. "You're the black Dr Who."
Actually, the black Virgil would be closer to the mark, as Mojisola Adebayo's musical drama, produced by Nitro, shows Desert Man leading Soldier Boy on a spiralling journey through colonial history not unlike Dante's introduction to the Inferno. The juxtapositions are sometimes startling, and often quite comic, as when the action swings seamlessly between scenes of brutality in Botany Bay to Soldier Boy's cronies larking about in Sofa Warehouse.
The piece was inspired by the Black Founders, Cassandra Pybus's study of black convicts transported to Australia, and its freewheeling scope covers similar ground to Lawrence Hill's novel The Book of Negroes, which told the story of slaves offered freedom in return for fighting on the British side during the American war of independence. In its bold attempt to trace allusions to the Stephen Lawrence murder back to the seeds of the slave trade, there are points when the reach of Adebayo's 90-minute drama may seem to exceed its grasp. Yet the fluidity of Felix Cross's production is aided by his own compositions, sung a cappella by a tight, ensemble cast; and Emmanuel Idowu impresses as the dying boy who unexpectedly finds someone else's life flashing in front of his eyes.
Hey guys. I have been a long time reader and I hate to make my frist post here a newbie question but I am going to anyway . I recently passed the POST exam for SS UD but the agency only told me that I passed. Is this usually the case? I know its petty but i kinda want to know how well i did. Do other agencies give you the scores or is this general practice? anyone else have this experience? Anyway, thanks in advance.
Thank you. Congrats on your pass as well! I am gonna try to see what i can coax out of the SA at the interview.
Not to burst your bubble but if you don't pass the POST, you're pretty much an idiot. The only agency I know of that will actually give the score is USCP.

From "Smiley Miley" to Miley Cyrus, ET has been there through it all.
In the premiere episode of ET's original Facebook Watch series, When We First Met, ET looks back on the first time we were introduced to the 24-year-old singer and her evolution in Hollywood since.
When ET first met Cyrus, she was 3 years old and kind of shy, but in 1997, just two years later, she couldn't be more of a spitfire. Running around her family's 500 acre Tennessee farm, the then-soon-to-be-star wasn't "afraid of nothing."
Now, the singer is worth a reported $360 million, back on The Voice and back with her former fiance, Liam Hemsworth.
"We're super happy. More than anything, he is my best friend," she told ET in 2010. "Once I met Liam, I mean, there's no denying, if there's chemistry with someone, there's chemistry with someone, and I'm not going to be able to lie about that. I'm 17. Like, I'm going to have a boyfriend."
RELATED: Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth Make Romantic Return to the Island Where They First Met!
In 2012, 22-year-old Hemsworth popped the question to 19-year-old Cyrus, but a few months later, the former Disney star went platinum blonde, and underwent a complete image overhaul. By 2013, she had shocked audiences with her raunchy VMA performance with Robin Thicke, and by 2014, told ET that the craziest rumor she had heard about herself was that, "I'm either dead or pregnant every week."
But the singer's dad always had her back. "I'm proud of you, because you knew you had to reinvent coming out of this mammoth, monster known as Hannah Montana," he told ET.
When We First Met doesn't just stop at ET's first introduction to Cyrus. We were with Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake through their career highs and lows.

ALEC writes the laws, the lawmakers just have to plug in the name of their state.
John Oliver has gotten a well-deserved rep lately for doing investigative comedy on Last Week Tonight, and this weekend he made an excellent point about state legislatures and ALEC, the Koch-supported legislation mill. While we’re all focused on how control of the US Senate could be determined by the midterm elections tomorrow, we ought to remember that the gridlocked Congress has passed a mere 185 bills so far this session. But the state legislatures, which are staffed by folks Oliver believes are downright weird (and he had the tapes to prove it), passed a whopping 24,000 laws in the same period.
And many of those bills are written by ALEC. Like, literally. Oliver shows a clip of a Democratic legislator pointing out on the floor that a bill submitted for passage seemed to be printed off the conservative group’s website, down to the type font and even the little ALEC logo in the text.
And all this goes on under what little radar is left in local media markets. Watch Oliver try to make up for that.
Lawyer Agnes Dufetel-Cordier represents a teenage boy from Toulouse who left in January to join the Al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front, before coming back to his family to face criminal charges. She said the teen — now 16 — gave no sign he was about to bolt for Syria, and his departure came as a shock to his parents. He was not stopped at the airport in Marseille, nor on arrival in Turkey or crossing into Syria.
The Nashville skyline changed within a matter of seconds, as the LifeWay tower came crashing down in a scheduled implosion.
The building, officially known as the Draper Tower, stood in the city for more than a quarter century.
Over 600 pounds of explosives were used to implode the building on the LifeWay Christian Resources' old downtown campus Saturday morning.
The countdown was set for 10:30 a.m. ET, and the initial reaction appeared positive. It took less than 10 seconds for the building to come down, although it was several minutes before the dust settled.
The implosion was expected to be louder than an NFL game. Although the immediate area was evacuated and roads were closed, several Nashville residents watched and recorded as the building was reduced to rubble.
The entire campus was sold back in 2015 to a real estate investment firm with plans to build a billion-dollar development called Nashville Yards. A music venue, hotel, and eight stories of multi-family apartments were just part of the plan to transform the 15-acres property in the heart of downtown Nashville.
As entertainment district was also announced.
LifeWay announced plans for a new headquarters in February 2016. The new campus was built on a 32-acrs site near Charlotte Avenue and 11th Avenue North.
"We are very excited about LifeWay's opportunity to remain in downtown Nashville," said LifeWay's President and CEO Thom Rainer at the time.
In addition to the new LifeWay campus, city leaders planned to construct new sidewalks and repairs to the infrastructure.
"It's about $3.5 million the city will spend on infrastructure which is needed for the city in general and in return for that in addition to LifeWay the city is going to end up with two acres of land which we'll be able to use as a city park," said Rich Riebeling, the city's Chief Operating Officer.

Written by Martin, The Deep Mad Dark is described as an atmospheric mystery-thriller about the complexities of female friendship. Martin exec produces along with Wells, Fabrik CEO Henrik Bastin (Bosch, The Comedians) and Kristen Campo (The Killing, The Good Guys). John Wells Productions and Fabrik Entertainment are producing in association with Warner Horizon Television and Turner’s Studio T.
The Deep Mad Dark opens as Detroit neurosurgeon Polly Lewis embarks on an unorthodox study in the field of memory and trauma. Her once closest friend – the irreverent, brilliant Tash Hollander – comes home after living many years in a strange, off-the-grid community in Belize. Upon her return, Tash insinuates herself into Polly’s life in audacious ways that threaten everything Polly has achieved. But why?

Martin exec produces along with Wells, Fabrik CEO Henrik Bastin (Bosch, The Comedians) and Kristen Campo (The Killing, The Good Guys). John Wells Productions and Fabrik Entertainment are producing in association with Warner Horizon Television and Turner’s Studio T.

The Deep Mad Dark opens as Detroit neurosurgeon Polly Lewis embarks on an unorthodox study in the field of memory and trauma. Her once closest friend – the irreverent, brilliant Tash Hollander – comes home after living many years in a strange, off-the-grid community in Belize. Upon her return, Tash insinuates herself into Polly’s life in audacious ways that threaten everything Polly has achieved. But why?
